## odigos sources enable cluster

Enable an entire cluster for Odigos instrumentation

### Synopsis

This command enables the cluster for Odigos instrumentation. It will create Source objects for all apps in the cluster, except those that are excluded or in system namespaces.

```
odigos sources enable cluster [flags]
```

### Examples

```

# Enable the cluster for Odigos instrumentation
odigos sources enable cluster

# Enable the cluster for Odigos instrumentation, but dry run (don't actually create any Sources)
odigos sources enable cluster --dry-run

# Enable the cluster for Odigos instrumentation with excluded namespaces
odigos sources enable cluster --exclude-namespaces-file=excluded-namespaces.txt

# Enable the cluster for Odigos instrumentation with excluded workloads
odigos sources enable cluster --exclude-workloads-file=excluded-workloads.txt

# Enable the cluster for Odigos instrumentation with excluded namespaces and workloads
odigos sources enable cluster --exclude-namespaces-file=excluded-namespaces.txt --exclude-workloads-file=excluded-workloads.txt

For example, excluded-namespaces.txt:
namespace1
namespace2

For example, excluded-workloads.txt (supports three formats):
# Format 1: <namespace>/<kind>/<name> - most specific
production/Deployment/my-app

# Format 2: <kind>/<name> - excludes in all namespaces
StatefulSet/redis

# Format 3: <name> - excludes workload with this name regardless of kind or namespace
nginx

# Note: Kind matching is case-insensitive (deployment, Deployment, DEPLOYMENT all work)
test/dePloyMent/my-other-app

Workloads can be Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, CronJobs, or Jobs.

```
